And Flynn might have to re-up with Green Bay if Miami isn't willing to make him their starter.

The Flynn saga is interesting because two reports from his camp suggested that: 1) he's getting interest from Miami and Seattle and 2) he's getting interest from Cleveland and Miami. Ergo, the only interest he's actually getting is Miami. But you always need to give the impression of a second suitor.

Flynn might end up back as GB's backup in 2012 on a one year deal in the Campbell range for money.

C'mon GTripp. Are you really going to use DMac and Garrard as barometers for whether or not there is a market for QB's?

Orton and JC (at least after Palmer showed up) were both backups last year. To me it is therefore unremarkable that they signed as backups this year. Your argument would be stronger if it were someone like Flacco who could only get a backup gig.
